I agree. More competition is definitely needed. We basically only have one option where I live, Charter.

I guess I'm not sure how these cable company's get such a monopoly in certain areas like they do.

I wonder though. Just because you have gig on your end does that always make much difference when the connection somewhere between you and the other side is much slower anyway?

Well no. If you are surfing to a site in another part of the country or overseas and that data has to travel at some point through slower switches and cables then that will be what limits your speed. Your connection to your supplier might be good but it depends on the connection to everywhere else.
